Default HELP!!!! This is driving me nuts ...

ive been having this prob with my vette missing on the driver side bank . at first i had codes which where the 02 sen and KS i replaced both sets . now all the codes are gone an the miss is still there . i dont know what else to do about it ive pulled each plug wire and injector wire while it was running to try to narrow down which cylinder was missing . i cant really tell but its between 3 or 5 cylinder. i checked the spark with a spark tester to and it seems to have plenty of spark on all cylinders. so this narrows it down to fuel . How do i check to see if the injectors are working properly??? :confused: Is there a way to check the wiring goin to the injectors ??? :confused: how do i test it with a volt meter ?? I hope some one can help me this is really drivng me nuckin futs :banghead: :banghead:

Have you checked the resistance of your injectors? I seem to remember that they should be either 17 or 19 OHMS.

Have you done a compression check of the 2 suspected cylinders?

What do the plugs look like on the cylinders that you think are missing?

If it was my car I'd replace all the plugs with Autolites and all the wires with Motorcraft wires.
If that didn't do it I'd then turn to the distributor. Cap and rotor.
If I still had a problem I'd pull each plug for a reading.
One other thing run the car at night and look for a spark problem.
